Anyone here know what this means. I just downloaded this game out of recommendation from a few old squad mates, and I can't even get past the first step.

When I first click the AH link on my Start Menu, I get the Video Setup Screen. There is a box all the way at the top that has nothing in it. Not even Primary Display Driver.

I have made sure I have the latest drivers for my ATI Rage Fury Pro. I have selected every possible option on that screen to get it to work, but nothing doing. I have DX 8.0.

I need a solution before I give up on this game before I even get out the gates. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like video drivers. Try getting updated video drivers that support DX8. You can also try DX 8.1 if that doesn't work.

What are the specs on your Rage Fury Pro? How much video RAM does it have? It may be on the edge as far as minimum requirements go.

What are the specs for your OS and the rest of your machine?

Ok here is the low down on my machine.

WIN98SE, PIII 750 Mhz, 768 MB RAM (yeah I know), ATI Rage Fury Pro 32 MB Video RAM.

Downloaded Latest Drivers for Video Card three weeks ago. Just got DX 8.1. Will try again right now and let you know.

Any other specs you might need?

Ok just tried again, only this time I didn't get the screen that lets me setup the video. It just brought me to a screen that lets me setup the account. Oh well, I guess I will see what happens when I get in game. Thanks for the help anyways Lephturn, much appreciated.
